The Nigerian Army troops of Operation Hadin Kai have uncovered and disrupted a large scale fuel supply operation in Maiduguri, Borno State, intended for Boko Haram terrorists operating in the Gwoza axis and parts of Cameroon.

 

The troops busted Hadiza and Sadiq Filling Station while its operators were brazenly loading fuel into 500 jerrycans, in what authorities described as a deliberate and treacherous attempt to empower the enemies of Nigeria.

 

Intelligence sources confirmed to security analyst, Zagazola Makama that the troops had been tracking the activities of several unpatriotic fuel merchants engaged in black market sales, often using modified tanks in vehicles such as Gulf cars to transport large quantities of fuel to unknown destinations.

 

These products were later transferred into jerrycans and smuggled to terrorist-controlled areas. But on this occasion, their luck ran out.

 

Troops stormed the scene and arrested several suspects caught in the act.

During preliminary interrogation, the suspects shamelessly confessed to taking the fuel toward Pulka and the Cameroon axis, an area which harbor several terrorists from the Ali Ngulde faction.

 

They, however, claimed ignorance about the identities of the recipients, revealing that individuals from “various destinations” collect the products.
